‘Respect me and recognise my ability’ – young equestrians on how to have a voice in sport
It is essential to hear the voices of young athletes to make sport a safe place and to attract and retain youth. Despite this, youth voices are still almost unheard in sports. Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child states that the views of young people should be listened to and considered; this applies across all contexts, including sports. The present study focused on over 300 open-ended answers from an online survey of young…
Negotiating adolescents' physically active life during the school day
The transition between educational stages brought changes that influenced students and staff's agency related to PA. Against this backdrop, the analytical findings were organized into four themes. Students' PA was negotiated against the logic associated with being a "good" middle school student and teacher. Realizing daily PA also stood in relation to an anything-is-possible spirit, which was pitted against the lack of an organizational structure…
Participation Rights in Youth Sport
The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that all children and young people have the right to have a voice in matters concerning them, in accordance with age and maturity. In the endeavour to make youth sport a safe place free from abuse and harassment, it is crucial to ensure that young athletes can exercise their participation rights. Drawing from an online study involving over 550 Swedish young equestrians aged 15–17, the aim was to in…
School-based physical activity interventions
School-based physical activity (PA) interventions stand out as a highly valued knowledge technology in relation to attempts to promote daily physical activity (DPA) among school youth. The purpose of the paper is to explore technologies of knowledge that guide school-based PA interventions in lower secondary schools and discuss their power-related implications. Foucault’s notion of discourse as the ensemble of regulated, deliberate, and finalised…

Knowledge about associations between school-based initiatives and physical activity patterns is limited. The purpose of this paper was to examine associations between factors in the school environment, physical activity and sedentary time during school time. The cross-sectional study included 1139 adolescents aged 13-14 from 34 schools. Physical activity and sedentary time were measured using hip-worn accelerometers. Factors in the school environ…
Learn, Have Fun and Be Healthy! An Interview Study of Swedish Teenagers’ Views of Participation in Club Sport
In Sweden, participation in club sport is a vital part of many children's lives. Despite this, many stop in their teenage years, raising questions concerning if and in what ways club sport can provide health-promoting activities via longer, sustained participation. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to explore and discuss young people's views of club sport from a health-promoting perspective. The analysis draws on three sets of qualitative …
To move on… – a comparative study of Swedish adolescents in a changing sport and leisure-time landscape
Societal and technological changes have had a great impact on the overall physical activity and leisure time practices of children and youth, in Sweden and in other countries. The understanding of sports participation is a complex issue as the taste for sport is formed under specific conditions. The aim of this comparative cross-sectional, longitudinal study is to explore how Swedish adolescents view and reason about sport and leisure time practi…
Almost all start but who continue? A longitudinal study of youth participation in Swedish club sports

This is done by studying the characteristics of teenagers…
